Scott,
At the LILO prompt type linux 3. This will boot the system to runlevel 3
and drop you at a console login. Login as root and at the command prompt
type "setuptool". This will allow you to reconfigure your mouse.

If I remember correctly this is a symptom of LILO when you're beyond the
1024 cylinder limitation on your HDD. Try setting the system up with a
small /boot partition when you install Linux. 15MB is plenty big
enough. See if that helps.

To my knowledge you can't compile 2.4 with ipchains support. I've tried a
few times and stopped trying. This kernel employs a new type of filtering
called "iptables" instead of ipchains. I've heard that it's a better type
of packet filtering although I haven't yet started to figure out how i
